After arranging for Thor to return to the room he lived in before, Li Jie returned to the office again to check on the current sales of the company's comics.
MARVEL magazine, which was published in January, was distributed weekly. So far, not counting the supplements, it had already been published to the fourth issue.
Because of the gimmick of a real hero and a real story at the beginning, it attracted a lot of people to buy it from the beginning.
Moreover, the Night Watch squad has been very active recently, whether it was collecting the silverware or stopping the Mutants from going out of control.
One or two of Li Jie and his teammates would always appear on the scene. There was also the battle between the Spider-man and the Electro Man in Times Square, and the battle between Li Jie and the Mutant The Green Devils in the orphanage.
All of these continued to bring more gimmicks and hype to the magazine. This also allowed the company's comic sales to continue to rise.
At least for now, the sales of the entire comic were increasing in a beautiful way, and it seemed that the market was far from saturated.
The popular comic on the market before was mainly about tall and complete superheroes like Herberlon. This kind of hero was too perfect.
Perfect like a legendary god. No, Li Jie had already seen two gods, and it could be said that the gods he had seen were not as good as Herberlon.
Herberlon in the comic was perfect, a moral model, willing to sacrifice himself to save others. You could find all the good that humans could think of in him.
However, because he was too perfect, this kind of superhero comic naturally had a sense of alienation from the audience.
Although everyone admired Herberlon in the comic, no one really wanted Herberlon to appear in the real world.
Li Jie persuaded everyone to establish MARVEL. Some of the comic stories created by the company came from their own adventures, and some came from some of the Marvel movies that Li Jie had seen in his previous life, and some of the settings of some online novels.
Then, after joining the discussion of the screenwriter, they formed the final script and began to write the comic based on the script.
However, in order to ensure that the masked heroes would not be disturbed, after all, people who did not want to reveal their true identity did not want their other identity to affect their original life.
Therefore, the company made changes to the origin of the heroes in the comic created. For example, the source of the Spider-man's power was modified after he was bitten by the mutated spider.
He changed into a young man named Miles. On his way home, he met a Magician from another world. Because he gave the dying Magician a bottle of water, he won the favor of the Magician.
After that, the Magician gave Miles a ring that could summon spiders. After that, he became the Spider-man.
As for Iron Fist and White Tiger, their origins were changed. Iron Fist and White Tiger were described as fellow Apprentice Brothers and Sister, with one being the successor of the Profound School of Energy and the other being the successor of the Profound Outer Sect.
As for Daredevil's origin, it has also been changed into a mess. Lawyer Matt, who was originally alive and well, was rewritten as a Living Dead at the suggestion of Li Jie.
Originally, he had died on Earth long ago and had been living on the edge of Hell. Later, he was chosen by the judges of Hell and returned to the human world to judge the sinners on behalf of Hell.
Anyway, the origins of all the heroes have been changed into a mess, but the readers liked it very much.
Because all the heroes in the comic had their own shortcomings, such as the talkative Spider-man, or Daredevil, who believed that justice needed to be upheld with iron and blood, and so on.
Of course, there was also the story of Nightcrawler, which was on the cover of the first issue, which was also very popular.
Because the vampires' incident was exposed by the government, the fact that Nightcrawler fought with vampires on the viaduct that day could also be made public.
Now that the vampires' incident was the main storyline, they began to write a big story from the perspective of Nightcrawler.
This was because the vampires' incident was now one of the hottest topics in the United States, although it was not as popular as when it was first exposed by the government.
But it still attracted a lot of readers, especially the story of Nightcrawler and Spider-man rescuing people who were kidnapped by vampires, and the night before the battle on the viaduct.
At present, among all the publications issued by the company, Nightcrawler and Spider-man's personal comics were the best-selling.
The second was the main publication of the Night Watchmen, followed by the publications of Iron Fist White Tiger, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and others. The comics of the last few could only be said to be lukewarm.
Li Jie also wanted to bring another popular hero, Iron Man Tony Stark, into the comic.
But it seemed that Tony protected his image and copyright very well, at least for the time being, Li Jie had not persuaded him. Li Jie was a little regretful. If he had known, he would have added Tony's comic rights to the last negotiation with Pei Bo, and let Harry directly use this as a condition in exchange.
But even without the support of Tony's Iron Man, the sales of the entire comic magazine were now on the right track. In addition to New York, Buffalo, Atlantic City, and Philadelphia, which were around New York, had begun to sell Marvel's comic magazines.
Releasing a large number of comics also brought Li Jie a considerable amount of reputation. Although the reputation gained from each comic was minuscule and couldn't compare to the reputation gained from performing a relatively famous heroic deed, Li Jie's reputation was still quite high.
But the most important thing was that there was a lot of comic books! And this was something that would last for a long time. In the future, as long as the image of the comic characters was deeply rooted in people's hearts, then related animations and movies could be shot.
In that case, he would be able to shoot related animations and movies. At that time, the image of the Global Export Company would bring Li Jie a huge and long-term reputation.
But it seemed that this route would still take a long time, at least a few years, or even ten years of accumulation to reach that step.
But even so, Li Jie was now because of the battle with the mutant The Green Devils at the orphanage, and the battle with Iron Man in Philadelphia, as well as the reputation brought by more than a month of comic books.
Now, Li Jie's overall reputation points had accumulated to about 50,000 points. Now that he had 50,000 reputation points and 1,000 special points, Li Jie could completely exchange for a chance to view the "God of War Catalog."
But now the most painful thing for Li Jie was that he had not officially begun to learn metaphysics.
It couldn't be helped. The books Li Jie bought published by the People's Teaching Material Publishing House, such as "New Understanding of the Book of Changes" and "Sixty Questions of Eight Diagrams." Firstly, Li Jie could not understand them, and secondly, he felt that the things written in them were all lies.
Moreover, he had shown these books to the Mist Mage. She said disdainfully. "It's all a trick of the charlatans."
Alright, Li Jie admitted it. Born in Kamateki, Mist was definitely more authoritative in metaphysics than those "experts" who sat at home and wrote these unreliable books.
Li Jie had originally wanted to go to Kamateki to find a few metaphysics books to study. Now that the Mist Mage was in New York, there was a teacher he could consult.
But Wang, who was in charge of managing the Kamateki library, said. "Without the Mage's permission, no books can be borrowed."
Even the magic ring given by the Ancient One was not allowed. It was said that something had happened to the original library, so without the permission of the Ancient One, all the important books could not be brought out.
But with 50,000 reputation points, it was time to upgrade his ability. Just as Thor had said, Li Jie's Nine Purple Thunderstrikes was quite powerful.
How could it be weak if it could make Thor mistake it for Odin's lightning?
And in terms of pure destructive power, it was the strongest of all of Li Jie's skills.
The first form of Spring Thunder Explosion had already shocked Li Jie. Now that he had enough reputation points, Li Jie was prepared to exchange for the next form of the Nine Purple Thunderstrikes.
Just as Li Jie was about to exchange for the second form of the Nine Purple Thunderstrikes, someone knocked on the office door. Li Jie could only stop for now.
"Come in." Ivy opened the door to Li Jie's office.
As a specially hired artist, Ivy could not work full time because she was still in school. She could only paint for the company after school or bring her assignments home to complete.
As a female artist, Ai Wei's drawing style was more exquisite, and it was widely welcomed by readers.
If it wasn't for some special hobby and paintings, Li Jie would have liked this artist as well. After all, good artists were hard to find. Each one was an important resource for the company.
Ivy slowly walked into the office with a folder in her hand.
"What's the matter, Ivy?" Li Jie looked at the girl in front of him and then at the folder in her hand. It seemed like she wanted to show him a draft.
"I have a draft that I want to show you, Jason. This is just a draft. If the company can publish it, I will be very happy. Of course, if it can't be published, it's fine too. I know the company will be under pressure." Ivy said as she handed the folder to Li Jie.
